February 27, 2023 — Amarin Corporation plc announced that data evaluating the role of VASCEPA /VAZKEPA (icosapent ethyl) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in reducing cardiovascular events in at-risk patients will be presented at the joint ACC.23 together with the World Congress of Cardiology (ACC.23/WCC) in New Orleans, LA, March 4-6, 2023. 

The featured research includes an analysis from the landmark REDUCE-IT trial on the effects of VASCEPA/VAZKEPA (icosapent ethyl) in patients with recent acute coronary syndrome (<12 months before randomization) and an assessment of the mechanistic activity of EPA in cardiovascular event risk reduction. 

“We are delighted to share new findings from the REDUCE-IT trial and add to the wealth of data that has consistently validated the utility of icosapent ethyl in treating patient sub-populations at high risk for cardiovascular disease,” said Nabil Abadir, MB. CH.B., Chief Medical Officer and Head of Global Medical Affairs, Amarin. “This important information, coupled with the analysis comparing the antioxidant effects of EPA to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or mineral oil and corn oil, should help advance the medical community’s understanding of the role and value of icosapent ethyl and EPA to reduce cardiovascular events in at-risk patients globally.” 

Featured Amarin-supported abstracts to be presented at ACC.23/WCC include:
